Product introduction
Venusia Baby Lotion is a moisturizer formulated specifically for infant skin, which tends to be thinner and more prone to dryness than adult skin. It combines multiple plant butters with glycerin, dimethicone and a small amount of zinc oxide in a lightweight, pump-dispensed lotion. The formula is free from parabens, sulphates and phthalates, and leaves out animal-derived ingredients, reflecting the extra caution typically applied to products meant for babies. It is intended for daily external use on a baby's face and body rather than as a treatment for a specific skin disorder.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Do not freeze.
